Though I did look at what you had to say and they look like what I think grizzly paw would look like.

And sometimes we were hippies. I think that was pretty era-appropriate. And nobody listened to Alanis. When Jagged Little Pill came out, it was the first I knew that the girl from You Can't Say That On Television even had a singing career. We were listening to the Pixies and Nirvana and local bands like Me Mom and Morgentaler and the Snitches (I'm from Montreal). I am pretty sure small town Canada has a lot more in common with small town USA, and that the greater conservatism in small towns means that trends shift more slowly generally. I know where my father lived, in the US, there was a lot of lycra being worn at that time, and some very pouffy bangs. One of my most hilarious memories of that era, actually, is my stepmother (from Ohio) telling me to tuck my shirt into my jeans because I "looked like a lesbian". She referred to my clunky nineties shoes as "clod-hoppers". @cherries:

Even though she is the American made Canadian stereotype, she is so damned annoying and the stupidest Canadian ever. Not to mention she is not from anyone place in Canada since everytime she talk about Canada she is referring to a different place. I wish she would fall off the Brooklyn bridge into the Hudson.

I think that their accent is quite strange, I've only really heard people say "aboot" when I went south (AKA to North Dakota). Although, being from Saskatchewan I totally appreciated the joke aobut summer being a week and a half in July. It's like how we say there are 4 seasons here, almost winter, winter, still winter, and july. We are a bit behind in some things but the 80's ended roughly the same time here as in the states, and then there was the grunge and hair band transition...ugg.

Canada always seemed to be a couple years back of anything that was happening in the States. I had a friend who had really big Robin Sparkles hair (complete with the curly perm) in like 1992/1993. She used to also wear a lot of colorful Bill Cosby sweaters circa 1988. I want an ice cap right now, but it's snowing right now. I don't want to go outside.

The highest mountain peak in Canada? Named Mount Logan, not Mount whatever Bays and Thomas made up. Our cops are NOT called Mounties, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are similar to how the FBI work in the US. And the 80's did NOT come to Canada in 1993, the only American thing that came to Canada in 1993 was our SECOND STRAIGHT World Series trophy!! Thank you Joe Carter!!
